Status: Closed |
SPECTRUM PROTECT SNAPSHOT MIGHT LEAVE ORPHANED VOLUMES AFTER BACKUP OR CLONE OPERATIONS.
|
| product: |
FLSHCPY DB2 AGE / 5608AC6DB / 81A - DB2 |
| Problem description: |
The Spectrum Protect Snapshot might leave orphaned volumes,
consistency groups, and FlashCopy mappings after backup or clone
operations.
This might happen when stopping of a consistency group
containing FlashCopy mappings of a backup or clone takes more
than 5 seconds. The problem is usually seen when either INCR or
NOCOPY FlashCopy type is configured in a DEVICE_CLASS section
for backups or clones.
In the logs the operation is successful:
DB db2p49.P49 14:10:05 (7fc217fff700) FMM8838I Starting
synchronous delete operation.
DB db2p49.P49 14:10:13 (7fc217fff700) FMM8839I The delete
operation has finished.
DB db2p49.P49 14:10:13 (7fc217fff700) FMM8835I Starting
synchronous reconcile operation.
DB db2p49.P49 14:10:13 (7fc217fff700) FMM1572I Starting
reconciliation for device class 'DEVICE_CLASS:DCx_PXX'
DB db2p49.P49 14:12:36 (7fc217fff700) FMM1567I Reconciliation
for device class 'DEVICE_CLASS:DCx_PXX' completed successfully.
The orphaned volumes, CGs or FCmaps are visible via subsystem
storage graphical interface.
